Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP)

Description

We are Reed's chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), an international group dedicated to ending the War on Drugs. At Reed, we mainly focus on providing harm reduction materials on campus, such as testing kits, supplements, fact-based information, tabling at SU balls, naloxone training, trip sitting, and more! Last year we also worked to put the syringe disposals in the GCC bathrooms (if you use any form of syringe, please put them there!), to keep kratom legal, and to pass the Oregon law that moved possession of small quantities of scheduled substances from a felony to a misdemeanor. This year we are hoping to raise money to bail out POC arrested on drug charges in Multnomah and Clackamas counties, bring in speakers to talk about their experiences of the drug war, and more! If you have any suggestions, we'll try to make them happen.
